PATHE PICTURES.

Excellent entertainment awaits patrons of Pathe Pictures at His Majesty's ' Theatre to-night. The mid- week change of films which will be- submitted comprises a wide variety of interesting subjects. The outstanding feature will . be a great historical drama entitled "The Keeper of the Secret," which deals with a romantic period m Continental history. The story is a gripping one, s and deals with . a woman's love, which is strong enough to make her sacrifice her life to save tlie object of her affection. Many of. the scenes are laid m a royal palace, which affords abundant scope for spectacular display. "When John Brought his Wife Home" will be found to be a human love story, cleverly portrayed by the Lubin Company.. A country yokel on the farm hies him off to the city to see life and incidentally make a fortune. He puts up at a theatrical boarding house, 'and ifc the butt of the show girls for his country manners. Helen Phelan, a chorus girl, however, takes his part, and her kindly disposition results m a love affair. The yqung couple hunt for >york, and as they are reduced to their last coin resolve to. get married to change their luck. The cliarm works, for the lad is sent for by his parents, and he and his faithful wife are received with open arms. "Scenes on tho Padas River" is a nicely-colored Eanorama, of the scenery m Borneo. Tlie itest Pathe Gazette is as usual full of all the latest happenings of interest m the Homeland. The comedy gallery is exceptionally strong m laiighing sub-ject-land should create roars of laughter. "Giving him Fits," "The Power of Sleep," and "St. Valentine's Day' are all well above the usual standard. This! highly delightful programme will be re-, peated on the folowing two nights.
